Summary:
           Fred Gadson caught two touchdown passes from Matt Gaines as Robert E. Lee defeated Central Tuscaloosa 14-7 at Legion Field Saturday. The victory was Lee's first state title since winning one in 1986. Gaines completed 5 of 9 passes for 120 yards and the two second quarter touchdowns were all the Generals would need for the win. Central got its only touchdown by driving the ball 80 yards on the Falcons first possession of the game.

           Lonzell Gowdy would score on a 1 yard run the give Central the early 7-0 lead. Gowdy would end the game with 175 yards rushing and complete 8 of 16 passes for 105 yards. He would also catch a pass for another 26 yards to finish with 307 total yards. It was not enough as the General defense rose up to stop the Falcons at the five yard line late in the game to clinch the win.
